Can a women get pregnant from the semen in a condom?

by windbeat, Jan 30, 2007 12:00AM

I read an article in some guys magazine about women "tricking" men into pregnancy (ie lying about being on the pill).  

I would never trust a women in this regard unless she were my wife.  

A few weeks ago I had protected intercourse with a woman.  The condom did NOT break, and I threw it in the trash.  

Now I'm probably being paranoid but I've decided to be extra cautious in this regard from now on.  

My question is:  Is it possible that a woman could take the semen from the condom and get pregnant from it?  

From now on I'm flusing or keeping them.  

We can never be too cautious guys.  

Thanks for any feedback.

Heres some feedback, Don't have sex if your this worried about it.  Your mind is obviously in overdrive & if you think women are this scandelous & untrustworthy than keep it in your pants!

Thanks for the feedback.  Actually, my mind is not in overdrive and I do not think most women are treacherous.  I'm sure 99+% would never be deceptive in this regard.  99% of women don't have HIV either, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be cautious.  

My question remains whether this would be possible if anyone knows (also assuming the condom does not contain spermicide).

I wasn't actually trying to be mean & I'm sorry if I came accross that way.  I actually thought it was kind of funny.  Especially the line, "We can never be to cautious guys."  I'm a woman & I didn't take personal offense.  You just seemed extremely paranoid about having a baby.

Windbeat - if you are in a relationship with a woman who loves you and  who wants to get pregnant by you, and she wants to keep you as a partner,  and you rise from the bed and flip the condom off and you leave,  you're making a mistake.

Yes,  she could absolutely pick it up and impregnate herself.  

If you're having sex with women you don't know and who don't know you,  or sex workers,  no,  they won't try to get pregnant with your sperm.  

Hope this was helpful.

I've heard of it happening, but it could be an urban legend.  If someone is desperate enough, she might try it.  Maybe I saw it in a movie...or read it in a romance novel...or on Maury...

Anyway, women who are desperate to get pregnant do exist.  I think we all know that.  

Keep your condom or flush it.  Sounds like a plan to me.

I think you read about it a few months ago on the Women's Forum.  An inquiring mind needed to know.

OH OH I have your answer!

Why dont you try SWOLLOWING your sperm, that way the only person who can possibly get pregnant is..yourself! :D cause then if you flush it it might get into the water and someone else can get pregnant and claim its Jesus all over again.:D

It's called a spellcheck.

Yes if she's desperate enough to try it.

Yes a woman can and some to to well off men to collect child support.
A simple way to ensure this does not happen is to put a few drops of tobasco sauce in the condom befor throwing it away.
If she does try to trap you she will get a big supprise
